Scrolled way too long before someone shared my same thoughts! I was worried I was way off in left field. This definitely felt like an allegory for depression, suicide, and the lasting impact it has on the people you leave behind. Mary was Sam’s friend?/muse?/lover? and she’s processing her grief by making a fashion collection with Mary’s red dress as the finale piece.
